Starbucks(Shamian Branch)

Most of the Starbucks in Guangzhou are located near office buildings in CBDs, shopping malls, five-star hotels and upscale residential estates. Many of them are not very peaceful or quiet, as they are usually located in busy areas.
The one at Shamian Island – an oasis tucked away from the urban chaos – is a nice exception. Nestled in a renovated western-style old house with a green shaded courtyard, it looks out onto finely landscaped gardens and historical buildings. Instead of the busy rush of white-collar workers and shoppers, the Shamian Starbucks offers a more relaxed and leisurely atmosphere.
Perfect way to relax away from the noise of Guangzhou. More popular locations are on Taojin Lu by the Guangzhou Friendship Store, and just across Huanshi Dong lu in the Peace World Plaza is a 2-storey location.Tip:Pick up a brochure from the milk/sugar/spices bar that lists locations throughout Guangdong province (Guangzhou, Dongguan, Shenzhen).
All staff in Guangzhou’s Starbucks can speak English.
